Used TM

The Used TM (Japanese: しようごマシンUsed Machine) is an item that exists in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and its sequels. It is, as suggested, a TM that has been used, and it is now virtually useless. However, it can be restored using the move Recycle.

The player can check which TM a Used TM used to be by checking the item's description. A Used TM for Recycle cannot be restored.

Inside dungeons, a Used TM can be thrown at enemies to inflict 1 point of damage if the enemy already is holding an item. In addition, a Used TM will have a different appearance than an ordinary TM when seen on the floor of a dungeon.

The player is unable to store a Used TM. This is likely so that the game will not forget which TM it used to be.
